You’ll use your mouse to look around and fire at the baddies. Practice your memorization skills before you hit the battlefield. Reload with “r.” Want to know all the keyboard and mouse functions? Once the game loads, before you click “Play,” choose “Input.” Scroll through the long list. Use “c” to crouch down and hide from the enemy. Point and shoot using the WASD keys and the mouse. What's that leave you? A breezy, addictive first-person shooter without the gruesome violence, gore, and adult storyline featured in well-known, mainstream picks. You won’t hunt for rare power ups or treasure, work for hours leveling up a character, or hunt for hidden maps within the world of Ravenfield. You won’t spend hours customizing a character with armor, shields, or class.

However, it also means no special gaming mechanics either. You won’t have to read through a novel-sized instruction manual or sit through a ten minute cut scene a la Call of Duty before you can get on with things. Ravenfield is a pick it up and play shooter. Ravenfield has the perfect blend of simplicity and customization to create a first-person shooter impossible to put down.
